Peeter Allik

Allik graduated from University of Tartu the Department of Fine Arts in 1993 and participates in exhibitions already since 1987. In 1988 together with his confederates artists Albert Gulk, Ilmars Kruusamae, Priit Pangsep and Priit Pajos, he established an artists group KURSI KOOLKOND (KURSI SCHOOL). Group positioned itself as province artists thus being ironic about the public of art life as a process of urban centres.
“Peeter Allik is a social artist. Like most social artists, also he does the documentation. Alliks speciality is the way of documentation. He does not document any specific events or problems, but the emotions they cause in people”. /Mari Kartau/
The artist says of his work: My work is about the present situation. It is not an art of eternity or eternal beauty! Just todays situation – this is my eternal beauty. If you live your life now, you know what the past is, and what the future is.
